One thing I’ve noticed he’s been having more odor from under arm which I hadn’t noticed before. I read it’s an early sign of puberty. Also today I’ve noticed that he still interacts with friends and other peers very well just like he has been always. Ive been thinking about maybe checking with his primary doctor to get checked up. But Ill probably monitor a little more before I decide. And yes, I’m still trying hard to be supportive and encouraging more than before even though I may not be so expert at it yet. But I’m really hauling my behind everyday to get good at this. And I think I’m not doing too bad even though I didn’t grow up with much encouragement and support from my parents.

Some changes are that he’s been more sensitive and talks back more and a bit more attitude. Not sure if he’s just hitting that normal adolescent stage or if it’s something to worry about.
